Additional areas of operation:
In addition to the Mid-West region we also work closely with other blood bike groups within Ireland to deliver a full service countrywide. This means on occasion travelling outside our base of operations to meet up, handover or collect urgent deliverables heading in all directions from and to the region.

One very important additional service is the collection and transportation of breast milk. The Human Milk Bank is located in Fermanagh and regular trips are required to ensure the Maternity Hospital Limerick is kept stocked in order to help support premature babies and their mothers.
